We'll also be creating an award for your company, so that you can display your achievement to your customers and company. This award will be hand delivered to your booth at PACK EXPO, at the end of the month.

They can be found everywhere from gastronomy to offices: various forms of sugar packets and sugar sticks are a must for hot drinks. In Europe alone, consumers use several hundred million of these packets every year. At a unit price of under 0.5 cents, low costs and the highest throughput are essential for production. The Italian company M.F. snc Macchine automatiche now offers a new, high-performance machine for filling these small packets. M.F. relies on lean automation from Rexroth with real-time communication via a sercos automation bus.

The application of several CPU cores on one chip promises a clear Performance profit in control applications. However, the needed parallelization for the automation firmware requires suitable tools and methods.

Gerhard Schubert GmbH and Bosch Rexroth AG signed a framework agreement for the next three years. With the agreement, the two companies have agreed to continue their long-term close collaboration for the development and manufacturing of innovative packaging machines and plants. In addition, Schubert will be using the third generation sercos automation bus for all communication tasks in their machines starting in 2012.

In 1906 the Swiss company Sapal acquired the patent for the folding box that initiated automatic packaging of chocolate bars. This invention played a critical part in making chocolate the world’s preferred sweet treat. Over 100 years later, Sapal, owned by Bosch Packaging Technology, presents an innovation that once again sets new standards: the Starpac 600 HL. The high-performance packaging machine for single-wrap die-fold packaging benefits from the automation bus sercos, which enables unique precision at extraordinarily high speeds.

Used to package small chocolate bars, the new packaging machine Starpac 600 HL combines the best of two worlds: thanks to hermetic sealing and gentle processing, it maximizes product quality and extends shelf lives. At the same time, precise single-wrap die-fold packaging produces a visual effect comparable to that of premium products.

Absolute precision

The centerpiece of the Starpac 600 HL packaging machine is the “folding box."
